| Words & music：michael w. smith and bob farrell | |
| Hey boy - did you find out | |
| Whatcha had to know - 'n what it's all about | |
| When you started to move - just a step at a time | |
| You never wanted to fall | |
| You took a chance on the wild side | |
| Hey, girl - can'tcha come down | |
| Are ya way at the top - afraid of somethin' you found | |
| Then you try to go back - not as easy to do | |
| Did you find who you are | |
| From a dance on the wild side | |
| I know sometimes it's hard for you | |
| To keep your feet upon the path that you've chosen | |
| It's not for you to walk alone | |
| Together we can take this road where it's going - hang on | |
| Chorus 1: | |
| Stand by me - stand right here | |
| The time has come to say it clear | |
| Now don't give up - but don't give in | |
| We will stand together to the end | |
| And i'll be around - i'll be around, yeah | |
| No joke - the sooner you find | |
| It happens all the same - for every mother's child | |
| When you walk in the dark - then you stumble and fall | |
| It's a part of it all | |
| When we dance on the wild side | |
| But everybody needs someone | |
| Who loves 'em through the toughest times - while they're growing - yah | |
| Who keeps a candle burning | |
| When the darkness covers up the path where they're going - hang on | |
| Chorus 2: | |
| Stand by me - stand right here | |
| The time has come to say it clear | |
| Now don't give up - don't give in | |
| We will stand together to the end | |
| And i'll be around - come what may | |
| Heaven hears us when we pray | |
| So don't give up - but don't give in | |
| We will stand together to the end | |
| I will be there, my good friend | |
| And i'll be around | |
| Be around, i'll be around... | |
| I'll walk this road with you | |
| Wherever it may wind | |
| And i'll be around | |
| Chorus 2 |
